Angel YovtshevYes, Rui!
Came across this oven last week-while travelling to the seaside-and it caused me itchy fingers...

Bart GoesaertNice and interesting subject, very well executed so far... nice scratchbuilding

Spanjaardif i may give a bit of criticism/suggestion....there is one thing that I would have tried to change.... it is the letters in front ("Werner Pf...."). There has to be a way of doing it smaller, more like they look in the real thing. I am not sure how i would try to, but i would suggest some crazy ideas
- very thin aluminium instead of plastic. you may be able to do them smaller and thinner.
- write the text in your computer, and print it in the right size in paper. Cut them with a new blade and soak them in diluted white glue before placing them in a piece of plastic
- instead of printing it in paper, do it in Tamiya mask sheets, cut the letters away and place the mask, then airbrush with heavily diluted putty. several very thin layers
Everything else looks really fantastic, that is why I have to say something about the only fault i can see. In any case, again, congratulations on a really fantastic scratch-building of a very uncommon subject.

Bart Goesaertthere are also PE casting numbers and letters in this scale, but a slight sanding and deburring with extra thin could help
29 August 2017, 14:11
Angel YovtshevYou are right,Spanjaard-the letters are out of scale...I used 2 mm wide styrene strip, should have used 1,0 or 1,5 mm width instead.Next time I won't get scared by small size lettering 🙂
Thanks for your advices too-I never thought of airbrushing diluted putty over Tamiya mask stencil-will give it a try soon!
Bart-thanks for your comment and suggestion.
Will see how can I improve the producer name Werner&Pfleiderer(they are still producing bakery equipment today).

Spanjaardwell, you can use some of the ready to use products like primer/microfiller. But old tamiya putty with acetone may also do the trick. but some airbrush seals may react with the acetone (the same as they can do it with lacquers). Too small letters may go away when you remove the mask.... so it certainly it needs some testing. let me know if you try. curious to know if it works.
Those PE casting numbers may be a really good option too. i did not know about them

Alexander GrivonevWow, this is real modeling...not what other 99% here are doing, just glueing precast parts together 😛
29 August 2017, 16:05
Angel YovtshevYes, Alexander-glueing precast parts together is exacty what I am doing in 99% of my hobby time 🙂
Thanks, mate!

Angel YovtshevThanks Bastian! I've tackled the out-of-scale letters.The new-smaller ones-look much better, at least to me 😉
30 August 2017, 07:48
Spanjaardcertain improvement in those letters 🙂 and now with the paint and extras added... absolutely fantastic!

Angel YovtshevThanks for the kind words, Choppa!
Spanjaard, I owe you a drink for pushing me to improve.Thanks mate!
I realized today I'll need the Dough Kneading Trailer(Sd.Ah.35).
And the Generator Trailer that goes with the Dough Kneading Trailer.
2 more scratchbuilds...

Bart Goesaertme too, in all, it's rather weird to see these in green, as it was only a standard color for vehicles during a very short time? Or maybe it has found it's use with the Russian army...
31 August 2017, 06:13
Angel YovtshevPlanning is underway, so it will be soon Spanjaard!
Bart, the oven served with the Bulgarian Army since 1940.It is still in running condition and I found records for at least 3 other ovens that are still in the army's inventory.
With regard to collor, there are 2 possibilities.The oven was either:
1.Ordered and delivered painted in dark green-orders for military equipment back then often included painting collor, or
2.It was delivered in the standard Wehrmacht collor(grey), but was later repainted to the Bulgarian standard collor at that time-Dark Bulgarian Green.
Green pigment was/is widely produced in Bulgaria, pigments for other collors-like yellow, or grey were imported, thus all essentialy non-battle-line equipment was painted green at first overhaul/maintenance.
